14:19Embarrassing. All I did was speak my mind in my own home, and I'm labelled a communist.
14:24And these are the people that you're trying to please.
14:26These people can help me become First Sea Lord. Thank God Shelby kept his word.
14:31And Adley, well, he's still prepared to see me. No thanks to you.
14:37We must maintain appearances.
14:40Yes, we're your appearances. I concurbed so much of myself for your ambition, Dickie, really, but only so much.
14:46I don't think you understand.
14:47No, you don't understand. I'm tired. Tired of pretending to be somebody else.
14:53Well, nobody asked you to be part of this life.
14:56I'm done with the intrusion and the endless scrutiny that comes with it.
15:03Well, it's all part of the job, dear.
15:04Not anymore.
15:06When you'd like your wife to talk about something other than Felix Sestini, you'll know where to find me.
15:10Drive her to stop the car.
15:11What?
15:12Etwina.
15:14Etwina.
15:16Come on, Etwina.
15:21Etwina.
15:23Etwina, would you come back?
15:27Etwina!
15:30Christ's sakes.
15:36Ah.
15:37Now then.
15:38Good morning, sir. The Prime Minister is waiting for you.
15:41The walls are closing in on us.
15:45Catastrophe looms.
15:47If we're not careful, this whole situation could get away from us.
15:53Calcutta demonstrated that.
15:55A scale of savagery unlike anything we've seen before.
16:00And one we must learn from.
16:04Wavell is a military man of painfully few words.
16:09He can't cope with Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah, Patel.
16:16That babbling battery of London-trained lawyers run rings round him.
16:20Sorry, I don't follow.
16:27A fresh face is what we need.
16:31A new approach.
16:41Me?
16:43Wavell's replacement was thinking of me.
16:50I'm sorry, Prime Minister.
16:51I'll confess.
16:53This is...
16:57Quite a surprise.
16:59I'm a little taken aback.
17:02Mountbatten.
17:03Above everything, you are an Englishman.
17:06Duty to your country obliges you accept.
17:09We cannot afford to mess up.
17:12Britain needs you.
17:23This is terribly flattering, gentlemen, but...
17:27I feel you've got the wrong man for the job.
17:30My apologies.
17:33We understand you have aspirations of becoming the first Seelord.
17:43Yes?
17:44I'll let you in on a secret, Mountbatten.
17:47You are under consideration, but there are others in contention.
17:54However, the Viceroyalty would certainly give you an edge.
18:11May I have time to think?
18:14You may.
18:16But be warned, Mountbatten.
18:20Time is the one thing we're running short of.
18:27The Viceroyalty.
18:29It will have a great pleasure to see you at the time.
18:31The Viceroyalty.
18:35The Viceroyalty.
18:38The Viceroyalty.
18:39The Viceroyalty.
18:41The Viceroyalty.
18:41The Viceroyalty.
18:56He is late.
18:59Peter Pan just refuses to grow up.
19:03What do you think?
19:05What do you want to talk about?
19:08He needs something badly.
19:11He needs something badly.
19:11These two sides were the same.
19:14But they are still here today.
19:17Now, in this case,
19:20how do you do this?
19:23There are no books.
19:27Impressive.
19:29Because they bought themselves.
19:31They didn't get to the parents.
19:32They didn't get to the parents.
19:36Maybe legal journals,
19:38I'm shocked to read something.
19:42Look,
19:44we are both of them.
19:46If we do it,
19:47it will be late.
19:49That's why,
19:51and more importantly,
19:53don't worry about my time.
20:13I am a member of the government,
20:16and I am a member of the government,
20:19and I am a member of the government.
20:35I don't think you are looking for the government.
20:37I think you are waiting for me.
20:40For the ten years.
20:43It took a while too cold.
20:48Heat,
20:49not a furnace,
20:50for your foes so hot.
20:54That it will sting yourself.
20:58I thought we are not talking about each other.
21:01Fine.
21:02I accept your offer.
21:07Well, that was quick.
21:09But...
21:10There is a rule.
21:15The right to nominate Muslim members in the cabinet...
21:20will only be a leak.
21:22Absolutely not.
21:24All that Wavell has approved is a concession...
21:27of five ministries.
21:28Nothing more.
21:29Today, there are 74 out of 86 Muslim seats in Punjab.
21:3634 out of 40 in Bihar.
21:3917 out of 34 in Frontier.
21:43And 28 out of 36 in Sindh.
21:47Yes, I'm aware. So?
21:49So?
21:51It's no longer 1937, Mr. Nehru.
22:01That I am the sole spokesman of Muslims.
22:04I am the sole spokesman of Muslims.
22:07I have not done this before.
22:10And not today.
22:17I only took this so that what happened in Calcutta...
22:19what happened in the whole country.
22:23What happened in Calcutta...
22:23it is extremely condemnable.
22:27I have appealed to peaceful demonstrations.
22:28It was an appeal.
22:30The pistol is our own.
22:33We will not be afraid of using it.
22:35We will not be afraid of using it.
22:37The Hinduism will not break.
22:39Or it will break.
22:43This is not my fault.
22:46Well...
22:47I didn't know...
22:48I didn't know...
22:48that some guns will use my words wrong.
22:51If you can't use guns...
22:52then you don't want to burn in the party.
22:54You want to say that...
22:56that I am responsible for these guns?
22:58That I am not...
22:596,000 lakhs.
23:01Don't forget Mr. Nehru.
23:04In Calcutta...
23:05there are more Muslims in Calcutta.
23:11There are living people...
23:12in Hindus and Muslims.
23:15You will not be afraid of...
23:16you will not be afraid of...
23:17as humans.
23:19How dare you!
23:20You come to my house...
23:21asking a favor?
23:23Only to call me a murderer?
23:25He says not a favor!
23:28It is a lie.
23:29You too.
23:30And we too.
23:32We are living in a lie.
23:37And you...
23:38always fight.
23:42OK?
23:54So this is not right now?
24:04Please go to Laktay Rishhta...
24:06It's not happened, Pandi Jai.
24:11My love is yours.
24:21Well, brother.
24:24We have been told to give to Jinnah.
24:31We don't have to believe it.
24:33I don't know.
24:35Now, if the league has lost us,
24:39then?
24:50We can't do anything, Panditji.
24:55That means we don't have to do it.
24:57We don't have to do it.
25:03The offer of Nehru has been given to me.
25:07The Congress has been given to this country.
25:12The ministry of the Prime Minister has given the name of the Prime Minister.
25:16Now, we don't have to nominate a Muslim member.
25:22The league has come to the war.
25:50I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
25:54I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
26:24I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
26:54I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
27:03I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
27:08I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
27:18I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
27:38I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
27:40I guess Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
28:08Mr. Jinnah, you know what they say?
28:11A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
28:13A tax is a fine for doing well.
28:16A 25% tax?
28:18Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind,
28:20Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind.
28:24Mr. Jinnah has changed his mind until he claims him
28:32Mr. Jinnah passed his mind until it began his mind.
28:34Try and start his mind and steps later.
28:34Mr. Jinnah, you have thought about this man,
28:37Mr. Jinnah must read it slowly and then
28:38Mr. Jinnah should take part of his mind
28:50Mr. Speaker, he has been given to Patel's budget.
28:56He has been given to Patel's budget.
28:57He has been given to Patel's budget.
28:59He has been given to Patel's budget.
29:08Patel, if this has not come to understand,
29:11then you will understand all of them.
29:14Patel, you have been given to Patel.
29:17You are going to go.
29:20Patel, stop.
29:24What do you say, Aliyakat?
29:26We are just going to fall.
29:28What is that?
29:30We will also fall.
29:35But we don't fall.
29:37We have to fall.
29:51We need some kind of divine intervention.
29:55Oh, my gosh.
30:15Your Majesty?
30:28This is where she was anointed.
30:30Empress of India.
30:34Our great-grandmother.
30:42I was rather hoping you would agree to our proposal.
30:48I don't know, Bertie.
30:50History will remember me as the one who gave it all away.
31:00If I was to succeed, how would that look to you?
31:07A consolation would be if they, the Indian people,
31:11pledged allegiance to me after the withdrawal.
31:15I feel a great affinity to that people.
31:18I find them enterprising.
31:21Resilient.
31:25Should India remain a dominion,
31:28it would keep her linked to the crown.
31:30I admire your optimism.
31:32Dickie!
31:33Who is it that I see before me?
31:37Viscount Louis Mountbatten,
31:40Liberator of Burma.
31:43The last Viceroy of India.
31:46Who preserved the link between drool and crown.
31:54Do it for your country.
31:58And for your favourite cousin.
32:08Do it for your name.
32:15Battenberg.
32:32I suppose congratulations are in order.
32:37Will you accept?
32:41Dare I, you mean?
32:43You've read the papers.
32:46India's in turmoil.
32:50Well, lucky for them, Britain's sending in their best.
32:58It's very good of you to say so.
33:01I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
33:07I've never lied to you before, Dickie,
33:09and I'm far too old to start now.
33:16So it's to be.
33:20Time to be the Patsy.
33:22The psycho-facial lamb.
33:24And when it does go wrong, and believe me it will,
33:28I'll be thrown out to dry.
33:33And everything I've built will be turned to rubble.
33:41Just like Father.
33:46I'll be alone.
33:57I'm not alone.
34:02Perhaps we should just get away.
34:10Let's go to India, Dickie.
34:14After all, it's where it started for us.
34:24A momentous occasion is upon us as Prime Minister Clement Attlee
34:28makes his way into the Parliament
34:30and prepares to deliver a speech
34:32that may alter the course of our shared history
34:35and, indeed, that of British India.
34:46I hope that the Prime Minister Clement Attlee
34:49will announce the new Vice-Roy of India
34:52that will be a new and strong step in the relationship between
34:58India and Britain.
34:59and in this mode,
35:00come to our UK correspondent,
35:02from London's House of Commons,
35:04listen to this adhihaasic language.
35:08In the opinion of His Majesty's Government,
35:11the time has come for responsibility for the governance of India
35:15to pass into the hands of its people.
35:17I have a few conditions.
35:21Go on.
35:24I want full discretion.
35:26I won't have the cabinet breathing down my neck.
35:29The keys to the kingdom while you're at it.
35:32I will be the sole spokesman for the crown.
35:35Effective, the 21st of February, 1947,
35:39Lord Louis Mountbatten will take over from Lord Wavell
35:43as Viceroy of India.
35:45Wow.
35:47One hand on the crown
35:48and the other one went and sat down.
35:51We don't have anything to do.
35:52Secondly,
35:54we must declare a precise date of departure.
35:59How do you propose we arrive at this date?
36:04In my personal opinion,
36:06we've already missed it by quite a stretch.
36:08Our best bet now
36:09is to leave as early as we can.
36:11And if the situation still requires resolution?
36:17What the situation requires is a deadline.
36:21So, we wish to make it clear
36:22that it is our intention to transfer power
36:25into responsible Indian hands
36:27by a date no later than June 1948.
36:30We will leave the Congress in 1948 until 1948.
36:36We will go to Azad for 14 months.
36:39We will go to Azad.
36:42We will go to Azad.
36:45One last thing.
36:48What now?
36:49The blood of a virgin?
36:50My firstborn son?
36:52Not quite.
36:53My aircraft.
36:55The York MW 102
36:56to be at my personal disposal at all times.
37:01Ridiculous.
37:02However,
37:05His Majesty's government are still deliberating
37:07on the suitable course
37:08in which the powers of British India
37:11should be handed over.
37:12Whether that is as a whole
37:14to an established form of central government
37:17or...
37:19in some areas
37:21to the existing provincial government.
37:24Fatty, typewriter!
37:26Quick!
37:27Jin!
37:30Jin!
37:31I am still its own spokesman.
37:38We finally got the divine intervention, Fatty.
37:41We finally got the divine intervention.
37:44I didn't understand.
37:44You didn't hear it.
37:45What did you actually say?
37:46Huh?
37:49Power will be handed over
37:50to the central government.
37:52But in some areas...
37:53To the existing provincial governments.
37:59I mean, wherever there is a leak,
38:02there is Pakistan.
38:04It can be made possible.
38:07You were right, bro.
38:11I will say that theΠΈΡnana was killed
38:13who won't fall asleep in the mouth.
38:16If someone will come to the breastplate,
38:21no one will come.
38:22you should follow it,
38:22and then I will raise you this.
38:29I know and understand.
38:31I don't know. I'm just going to do something.
38:37We won't say yes to the gods.
38:45And let's do it.
38:49We'll reach there.
39:01Come on!
39:35Oh, my God!
